Pires was castigated his whole career for that dive. Vardy did it on an almost weekly basis last year and gets infinitely less stick. Rooney and Gerrard both more than happy to take a dive. Bale is a tremendous player but a cheating bastard - yet gets far less stick than Ronaldo did even though he frankly wasn't really any worse.
Just as Eduardo was by the celticscum - Why?

Because the players were seen as being 'Johnny Foreigners' a dispicable jingoistic term used by media and many fans alike to describe non-brit players and that's why there was and always will be a difference between cheating filth like rooney diving - like his did when he fell like a whores knickers when our Unbeaten run was ended by Red Nose, Shrek and the Other Manscum Cheating. cun.ts - and non-british players doing it....

Vardy does it - he plays for Ingerland so it's accepted and Not Criticised. Double Jingoism Standards by media and Fans alike.
As a result of Rooney diving to end the run and endless dives by Stevie Me the media devised the phrase "felt contact and was entitled to go down" . I am not convinced that Pires was a serial diver as depicted.. Yes the Portsmouth one sticks out but it was manufactured by Pires rather than blatant diving.He made the contact with the defender.. I have the rosiest tinted spectacles when it comes to Bobby.

Poor old Sid - he's been praying that John O'Shea, Wes Hoolahan and Shane Long would be joining this Summer once Oireland have finished lifting the Euro trophy.....doesn't look like the warchest will stretch that far now

Come on mate, if you left a feather in the path of Pires he would fall over - he did it all the time. It wasn't just one dive, but that dive stands out because of it's significance.

I am not justifying Vardy diving, especially the way he did versus us last season but like it or not thats part of football these days. Back in the day we used to play honest in this country, but certainly since Michael Owen admitted he would go down for a pen it is much more common that other English/British players do the same. The real issue is would Vardy improve us up front, the answer is an emphatic yes. I am not happy to go another summer like last year when we ballsed up nearly every possible transfer. If Vardy wants to play for us, sign him up today.
I'm not saying that Pires wasn't willing to go down easily but the reputation he got and the extent to which that particular incident was regurgitated was laughable.

Funny how he didn't benefit from the "entitled to go down" or "any sort of touch at that pace" excuses which are trotted out for media darlings.

One of the worst players I've seen for feigning injury was Vidic - the bloke would dive, roll around - the works. Never mentioned because he was a (fantastic) United player and it would interfere with his hard man reputation which the media much preferred.

He is a game little fucker no doubt about that....

BUT is he right for Arsenals slow build up possession play, my guess is at the Emirates when teams come to sit back and close down space his affect will be nullified, he is nothing special technically, and as i say strange choice, then again we got a strange manager.....we will see

fuck this auto spelling....

agree with Pires comments, remember Danny wanker mills saying Pires was responsible for bringing diving to English football
Norther wanker with a chip on his shoulder, and he was a dirty useless twat

Heard that Woy insisted transfers involving his Ingerlund players are sorted before the Euros, avoiding players being distracted during the tournament.
We were jogging along at our usual snails pace with Vardy but then picked up the pace. Thats why it seems like were "doing our business early"
Seems feasable enough.

Still believe Gazidis has his hands on this deal as its not a typical Wenger signing. Wenger sells top PL goalscorers to rivals enabling them to win the league, not the other way round.
Reckon hes frustrated with the bad PR, afraid of how it affects sponsors. I do believe Gazidis will be key to getting rid of Wenger.

http://youtu.be/wGzExJOrhfQ

Most his goals last year were either running off the shoulder or finishes in the box
A lot has been said about his potential signing - both Positive and negative on here and in other quarters...But, watching him in action and scoring he is like an un-stoppable force - If Ozil is still with us and can provide the amazing assists we all know he is capable of - Then next season could be very High Scoring for THE Arsenal.

Didn't realise he is 2 footed as well - That goal against Liverpool - had any Arsenal player scored that we would be calling for him to be Knighted. - Amazing goals.

ps: And if he does join he HAS to become our Penalty Taker.
Watched his goals from last season and was impressed with the way he strikes the ball, no half hearted side foot (Wally) that is too soft, he hits it, and hits its good.
Not bothered by his age, at 29 we get 3 decent seasons from him I'll be happy and at £20m its a no-brainer as it still leaves us a good wedge to get the other players needed - winger and centre back.
He fights for the ball, is a real handful for the defenders which is not something you could label of Walcott or the lazy Giroud.

Its come a bit out of the blue but if other targets are unrealistic, like Higuaín Lewindowski, or too much of a gamble like Morata then I am pleased.

Love all the sanctimonious crap about Vardy not being a very nice person

Tony Adams (57 days in prison for drink driving), Paul Merson (coke head and alcoholic), Peter Storey (5 different charges from porn smuggling to stealing cars), Ian Wright (2 weeks in prison for failing to pay fines for driving without tax and insurance). Patrick Vieira spat at players on the field - something that reviles me. One of the finest managers we ever had, and double winning player, defrauded the club of hundreds of thousands of pounds. Not to mention many an adulterer or pisshead falling out of night clubs or involved in scraps. Did any of you lot not sing their names or enjoy watching them in the red and white?

Glad to see we've got so many 'superfans' living such virtuous lives !

How can you not include Parlour with the prawn crackers in Hong Kong and the fire extinguisher in Pizza Hut or Paul Davis smacking Glenn Cockerill? What about David Hillier nicking the luggage?

Also nice to see our 'classy' fans giving Vardy's missus crap on twitter really shows us in a good light to a potential signing, when will these people learn that twitter etc is seen by everyone including other players and it doesn't look good :banghead:

On the Vardy signing if it happens Wenger surely has to offload someone from our multitude of forward players as we are really bloated now, please let it be Theo :rubchin:
Bang On The Money Mate!


They wenker & the board have NEVER known such descent - So :high5: to all the Banner Bearers! - It may not have resulted in Wenker fuckking off (Yet!) but it HAS made a Difference. :barscarf:
Thanks lads. :D
I do think the banner protests were timed to perfection and even the chaos at the City game ended up working in our favour.
Im now happy (after being initially disappointed) that we called off the protest at the Villa game at the last minute.
It would have been twisted and spun to make us look like complete c unts after the dramatic turnaround and the atmosohere at the Emirates was like we'd just won the CL ffs. :roll: There were 5 banners in the ground that day and would have made a great show but it was the right decision in the end.

I honestly do believe our protests and the media attention they garnered made Gazidis fidgety (maybe not so much Wenger.....yet).
But also Wengers complete ineptitude in the transfer market doesnt go unnoticed by Gazidis.

Look at the Suarez fiasco and the rumblings over season ticket renewals.......Gazidis went and initiated the Ozil deal.
Now after only signing Cech and the subsequent protests..........Boom! Vardy arrives. :rubchin:

Wengers last season lads.
"We're havin a party, when Wenger goes"

In terms of a crime list.....Hillier's has got to be the funniest. What about poor old Billy Bigbollox aka The King of Denmark pranging his car into a tree and having his jeans down round his knees coming out of the nightclub. The Shisha Pipe Kids are not a patch on that lot :D
